I have seen that picture but not the thread. Some of those photo-shopped images made me laugh a little but I really like the silver wheel covers and the fender skirts. I am currently working on designing the fender skirts however it is a bit of a challenge to do as you cannot just slap a flat board over the wheel arch due to the tires poking out past the car body. Why Chevy Why!?

Too bad - that wheel arch looked like a good, flat platform.

I may need to start a new thread and if so no problem . But any ideas on what I can do to this truck to help my MPGs? I am not complaining at all as I get 19 to 24 with a supercharged Hemi. But if I can get a few more MPGs that is a good thing.

Best to start your own mod thread so it doesn't get buried in non-related stuff.

Plenty of options available from simple things like increasing tire pressure, to complex aero builds. Generally, little things deliver little improvements, and massive things deliver massive improvements.
